c# - Enums to predicates of lambda expression -

i've been searching how convert enums predicate in lambda expression/linq query ef. example, have below enums:

public enum myenum { [display(displayname="firstdesc") first = 0, [display(displayname="seconddesc")] sec = 1, [display(displayname="thirddesc")] 3rd = 2 }

and linq query is

var query = (from in context.users select new { desc = case when status==(int)myenum.first ? "firstdesc" : case when status==(int)myenum.second ? "seconddesc": case when status==(int)myenum.third ? "thirddesc" : "unknown" });

i want accomplish 1 time add together new item enum, linq query automatically adjust status items in enum.

any help appreciated.
